Our hotel for Champs (I'd give us a 90% probability right now of qualifying) is an annoying 2.5 miles from the Dome, and 0.9 from the metro. Right on the other side of the line of convenience.

Unfortunately we can't afford a bus, but we spent an hour or so when we picked hotels to make sure what we picked are on the right side of the line, and walkable to eating. Some are not walkable because lack of sidewalks and a freeway dividing them.

Unfortunately many teams are stuck without a bus even if we are staying many many miles away.
